{Flashback Friday} Achieving Drama in 1952

This week's post features a nice contrast between two design styles in 1952. I'll let you guess which look I like.

The American Home for August- 1952

Would you achieve drama with strong color or with no color today?

{Flashback Friday} Hallcraft Bouquet

As you all know by now, Eva Zeisel is one of my favorite all-time designers. It is only appropriate that one of these flashbacks would showcase one of her designs.

The American Home for August- 1952

This image was used to showcase several place setting pieces, from the china to the glassware and silverware. This is what was said about the Hallcraft pieces:

Despite its thrifty price, the pretty dinnerware, timeless as a sonnet, has a good chance of becoming heirloom. Its designer is one of our country's most celebrated, Eva Zeisel, winner of a flock of awards - and some of her china is already treasured by museums as full-fledged art. This pattern, called "Bouquet," is brought out by Hallcraft at $9.95 for a 16 piece starter set. Notice the free-flowing curves, the modeled look which gives Zeisel pieces their distinction - and makes them easy to store and to handle.

If you enjoy looking through vintage magazines, you'll enjoy this friday series.

Sunset Magazine- September 1954

This page offered by Sunset is for an ad for their Tables you can Build book. This ad just happens to feature a fabulous table designed by Luther Conover. So who's going to give it a go?

{Flashback Friday} - Raymor Capri

Last week I shared a snippet of all of the vintage magazines I purchased at an estate sale. I said I would share some of the ads in them. As promised, I am sharing an image for a party chicken salad. When I saw the ad I was overcome with excitement, not because I like chicken salad but because I LOVE Raymor Capri.

This place setting is made up of Raymor Capri items, a design line by Michael Lax for Hyalyn.

Have a Great Weekend!
